Description

Fullbody + Additional Composition commission for :iconjack177:

Character is Aerie from Baldur's Gate 2~!

This is the most complex illustration I've done to date. It was honestly a huge challenge, but I enjoyed every moment of it <3 
I love doing art with actual stories/meaning behind them! 

Description from commissioner:

"She lived among the Avariel, the winged elves, and was captured by slavers when she was still very young. Supposedly extinct since the First Flowering eons ago she was purchased as a display for the circus. The spectators were cruel with curiosity, jeering and poking at the spectacle of a winged elf and the circus didn't care as long as she drew crowds. Alone, caged, and paraded around in strange lands she longed for home, for the comfort of friends & family, for the rich aroma of stew, and the soft embrace of warm sheets.

Held in a cage too small her wings eventually became withered and infected despite her begs and pleas. Much to the circus handlers' regret they dragged her screaming out of her cage and cauterized her wings to keep her alive. Without her wings she no longer drew crowds and her handlers pondered what to do with her…Even the mines wouldn't take a sickly slave, maybe an alchemist? It didn't matter for her though, she couldn't imagine a flightless life among her kind. Good things can't happen for people that want for naught."


Thank you very much for commissioning!

This is why I hate Quayle her 'circus carer'. Is she any better in there? No.


Wait a minute, none of this is real...
